hope everyone had a great weekend! did you know that this week is Random Acts of Kindness Week? It only takes a second to do something nice for someone else…. see how you can be extra sweet this week! click HERE for some ideas. I know all of you probably do many of these anyway… but as an incentive, leave a comment here and tell us what nice things you’ve been taking part in recently and 3 lovely people will be sent a set of handmade cards made by my adorable Aunt Nancy. : ) winners will be chosen at the end of the week!
Becky - RAOK! We have been working on that at our hospital! I have found I have slacked a little on this though. Over the holidays, I would pay for the car behind me in the drive-thru, or I would make sure carts weren’t roaming the parking lots. RAOK’s make me feel good, so I try to do it as a surprise. I don’t need the recognition. I just want to make someone’s day that much better! I knew someone who had something very unexpected happen to her, so I provided her with some clothing and such. She found out it was me, and I received the nicest Thank You card from her. That made my day!
stacy - you won some cards, Becky! : ) congrats!!!
Becky - You should also check out The Birthday Project on Facebook. What an amazing lady!
Sheila Dokulil - Let’s see… 3 things recently… I recently served dinner at a homeless shelter. I shared my last piece of chocolate cake with my toddler. (That’s huge.) And I’m in the planning stages of a church benefit for a friend’s mom.
🙂
stacy - yay! you’ve just won yourself some hand-made cards! yippee!
Sara - It’s fun to see how random acts of kindness spread with 7 and 8 year olds…..I try to do something random everyday. Yesterday I held the button on the water fountain for all my students when they got back from P.E. Today they would randomly hold it for their classmates. Hopefully these things flow over into their everyday lives…..imagine the possibilities!
stacy - yay! i think it’s so important to start teaching by example… littles pick up on so much more than we think just by watching! : ) great work! and you win some cards! 🙂 congrats!
Becky - Sweet! Thank you so much! I just love everything about this!
